Die cutting/scoring apparatus sheet material driving member

A device for use on a ferrous die cutter/scoring anvil roller in a die cutting/scoring system including a die cutter/scoring blanket roller for receiving a blank sheet there between, the device for frictionally conveying the blank sheet between the anvil and blanket rollers, the device comprising:

• a pliable magnetic sheet material substrate for magnetic releasable attachment to and about the die cutter/scoring anvil roller for substantially surrounding the anvil roller;
• and
• a pliable compressible engagement member attached to the substrate arranged for engagement with said blank sheet and for frictionally driving said blank sheet between said anvil roller and the die cutter/scoring blanket roller during said engagement, wherein the engagement member has a series array of spaced apart slits in a flat state.

• a pliable compressible engagement member attached to the substrate arranged for engagement with said blank sheet and for frictionally driving said blank sheet between said anvil roller and the die cutter/scoring blanket roller during said engagement wherein the engagement member has a series array of spaced apart slits in a flat state and said slits form V shaped grooves when the engagement member is wrapped about the die cutter/scoring anvil roller.

A strap for use on a ferrous die cutter/scoring anvil roller in a die cutting/scoring system including a die cutter/scoring blanket roller for receiving a blank sheet therebetween, the strap for frictionally conveying the blank sheet between the anvil and blanket rollers, the strap comprising:

• an elongated pliable sheet material strip, wherein the sheet material strip is relatively narrow with respect to the anvil roller, arranged for magnetic releasable attachment to and about the die cutting/scoring anvil roller for substantially surrounding the anvil roller;
• and
• a pliable compressible engagement member, wherein the engagement member is relatively narrow with respect to the anvil roller, comprising a plurality of compressible teeth attached to the strip arranged for engagement with said blank sheet and for frictionally driving said blank sheet between said anvil roller and the die cutter/scoring blanket roller during said engagement.
